Abstract
Microcomputers are being used with increasing frequency to enhance communication effectiveness for individuals who are unable to speak. As components of commercially available augmentative communication systems, microcomputers support the storage and retrieval of messages, speech synthesis, and elementary word processing. Custom programs have been developed so that personal computers can serve as communication systems capable of transducing restricted motor movements into messages, predicting and completing messages, and producing messages in either spoken or printed form. In preparation for augmentative communication system use, microcomputers are employed for motor, linguistic, and visual training of nonvocal persons.
